Soledad's Journal

I gave up on Torchwood after the Children of Earth mini-series; actually it sat unwatched on my HD-recorder for months before I decided I needed to find out for myself how horrible it was. I can see that Gwen could have been a good character, but she was always too full of herself -- and allowed to get away with that -- for me to like her. Her ex-partner constable Andy was a different matter. Him I wouldn't have minded seeing more of! But getting back to the main point, I think you are right. People just think they can treat fans as badly as they like, and get away with it exactly because they are fans. Sadly in some ways this is true; a lot of us will keep giving something the benefit of the doubt that it will be good this week even in the face of quite a staggering amounts of evidence to the contrary.
